There have been posts made regarding attorney Mark Geragos "reneging" on an agreement between the parties to allow Sharon Rocha to enter the Peterson home and retrieve some of Laci's property. It has been presented that this was some kind of "last straw" and Sharon Rocha, in desperation, entered the home without the defense's permission. This is not exactly true.

On Wednesday night Sharon Rocha appeared on Greta's show on FNN. She complained that she was not being allowed to enter the Peterson home by Scott Peterson's mother. She offered a very sad story designed to ellicit sympathy, not only from Greta, but from the audience as well. She accomplished that goal.

What she did not reveal to Greta or the public was that there was already an agreement in place for her to enter the home and retrieve items she had listed as belong to Laci that she would like to have. The date, and presumeably the time, was set for Tuesday, June 3. Instead, she stated that Scott's mother was refusing to allow entry. Scott's mother called in and denied that she was blocking the entry.

The agreement was between the parties was designed to eliminate a media farce. Geragos did not want or need any more negative press and controversy. The negotiations and the agreement itself was kept confidential and was not announced to the press or public prior to the appearance of Rocha on Greta's show.

The following morning, Thursday, Geragos responded to Rocha's attack on Mrs. Peterson by calling Rocha's attorney and in complaining made the "if you want war" statement. He was outraged, I believe righfully so, and responding to the deception and dishonesty of Rocha in light of the agreement. He then apparently, withdrew the agreement.

Sharon, taking advantage of her breech, then entered the home on Friday morning complete with attendant press who were obviusly told there would be an entry prior to the event itself. The press witnessed the arrival of the vehicles and the police as their video reveals.

I think a fair and objective review of the agreement, the statements made by Sharon Rocha and the reports by the press will reveal that this was a pre-planned event orchestrated by Sharon Rocha to accomplish her own ends. In the process she slandered Jackie Peterson to her own advantage.

IMO............

I went back over my notes after reading your post. I am going by what was published on KTVU.com. I am quoting from that source:
Al Clark(One of two of the Rocha's attorneys): "We thought we had it worked out with Geragos that Sharon could come in Laci's home next Tuesday". "He (Geragos)called...on Thursday and said he's not going to allow anyone in the house....I called Sharon..she said,"I've got to do something".

I do not know what source you are using in your post, but everything I have read support's the account, I have included in the above paragraph.

What I've garnered from the various press reports was that the "defense" set that Tuesday date for Sharon to enter the home under strict guidelines set by the *defense*. Press reports indicated that the *defense* team would accompany Sharon and videotape her visit to the home and record everything she did and every item she touched or wanted removed from the home.

IMO, I this were me....this would have been an unacceptable scenario! How on earth could she have walked into her dead daughter's home with *defense* cameras recording her heartbreak? I believe this is what Sharon meant when she stated that victim's families don't have any rights. What an awful intrusion of someone's private grief and misery.

I'm quite sure that cameras were not present when the Peterson's entered. Why should the Rocha's be subjected to such a humiliating injustice?

The defense team is now stating that there was a "deal"...perhaps the defense said: this is the deal take it or leave it...and the Rocha's chose to leave it.

I think I would have done the same thing, frankly. There was nothing for the Rochas to lose.....they've lost enough already. For the Petersons and their attorneys to not have any compassion with regard to Laci's family was shameful and disgusting.

you have your facts all twisted. IMO, what sent Sharon over there friday morning was Jackie Peterson on Greta, thursday night, saying THERE WAS NOTHING OF LACI LEFT THERE! and that there was no "problem", she didn't know where this problem was coming from, was a media thing. and that she had email from sharon and was going to leave the plants outside for sharon to pick up. i heard jackie myself live when she called in at the end of the show.
The petersons must really hate the rochas to be so mean to them, as to not let the rochas go over and look around, let them have some of Laci's stuff without having to hire a lawyer for goodness sake....hired the lawyers 2 1/2 months ago. Sharon is a saint. i'd have been there long ago.
